Alcohol, Vicodin, some

cocaine mixed with Speed

[Danny] and maybe some heroin.

[operator] What's Her name?

[Danny] Her name?

[boy] Danny!

[Danny] Kayla Stevenson.

[boy] Danny!

[Danny] 16.

[police sirens]

[boy] Danny!

[doctor 1] Your daughter has

experienced a very powerful

drug interaction,

which has wreaked

havoc on her body.

-There really is very

little you can do now--

-[doctor 2] She's sleeping now

[doctor 1] --except wait for

her to wake up.

[doctor 2] There's no way to

predict--

[doctor 1] We're awaiting

toxicology reports--

[doctor 2] --if she'll

wake up.

[doctor 1] When it returns,

we'll know more.

There's something you need

to understand...

Oh, Lord have mercy.

[doctor 1] There's a very real

possibility that Kayla may

never wake up.

[crying]

[heart monitor beeping]

Oh my god.

Excuse me, Mrs. Stevenson?

I'm Officer Mackenzie.

I know this is a very difficult

time for you right now,

but if you have a few

minutes, I would like

to ask you a few questions.

You going to put

my baby in jail?

No ma'am, I--

How dare you?

She almost died

tonight because of you.

They were too afraid of the

cops to call an ambulance,

and you want to

ask me questions.

I'm sorry, I--

No.

I've got a question for you.

That what you do?

Arrest children?

You want to put all our

children in jail, for what?

Being children?

If it wasn't for these two

boys, my baby would be dead.

And you have the

audacity [crying]

to come to my

daughter's hospital bed

and interrogate us now?

I'm so sorry.

Get it together.

Protect and serve.

Protect and serve.

Hi.

Hello.

I'm sorry about that.

Well.

She's usually very nice.

It's just a lot

for her, you know?

Yeah, well I shouldn't

have done that.

It's nothing personal.

You seem like a really

nice guy, for a cop.

Thanks.

I always feel weird

coming into hospitals.

I never want to touch

anything, you know?

Yeah, me too, but

part of the job.

Bummer.

I'm Arin Robinson.

Arin?

So you're the guy

who spoke to the EMT?

Well Arin, I'm

Officer Mackenzie.

What you did tonight

was a hero move.

Not really, but thanks.

Arin, do you need a ride home?

So you like her?

She's Kayla Stevenson.

Everyone likes her.

Nobody seemed to like her

enough to save her

life tonight.

Except you.

So how come her boyfriend

didn't call 911?

I thought of it

first, I suppose.

And what, they made

you designated driver?

Well, I don't drink and I don't

do drugs, so I made a good fit.

Was everyone doing

drugs at the party?

You'd have to ask them.

All right, who were they?

Who gave them to her?

I can't help you there.

Who gave Kayla the drugs?

I'm not a rat, officer.

Arin, there's a teenage girl

who almost died tonight.

This is serious business

we're talking about here.

If you're afraid of those

guys coming after you,

we can help you.

Look, I may be

small, but I'm not

afraid of you or your

badge, and I'm definitely

not afraid of any kid

with a bag of dope.

The only thing

that I fear is God.

Yeah, I like your bracelet.

WWJD, huh?

Man, you know being a Bible

thumper and a straight edge,

can't make you very

popular, can it?

Well, as I recall, JC wasn't

particularly popular, either.

I also remember that

the cops of that era

nailed him to a piece of wood

for speaking truth to power.

Look, kid, I'm not in

the crucifixion business,

all right?

All I want is the truth.

That's exactly

what they told JC.

Thanks for the ride,

Officer Mackenzie.

Yeah, sure thing.

Arin, wait.

If you change your mind about

anything, you've got my number.

You bet.

[sirens]

Hi, officer.

Some man just attacked our son.

He took him, he tried

to grab him, run off.

We ran after him,

and we got him back.

Tell him what happened.

This man came, and

he grabbed our son,

and he tried to

take him from us.

[knocking]

Police, open the door.

Come on in.

Police, I'm coming in.

Come on in.

I'm not gonna bite you.

Mike?

Yep.

Mike Phillips?

That's me.

Robert Mackenzie?

I heard you joined the mil.

I did-- Marines.

Three tours.

Three tours, wow.

[inaudible] I've got this one.

Well, well, well.

Bo Mackenzie a cop.

I never would've in a million

years seen that one coming.

Congratulations Bo.

I won't tell them

the truth about you.

Mike, I just

received a complaint

that you assaulted a child.

Yeah, well.

I think I did.

Say, I get a little

confused sometimes.

Is he okay?

I didn't mean to scare

the little bugger.

Yeah, he's fine,

just a bit shaken up.

Yeah, yeah.

I had a bit mixed up

with the meds today.

It's no excuse, I know.

I thought he was

going to trip an IED,

and I was trying

to save his life.

Some hero, huh?

Mike, anyone who puts on a

uniform for their country

is a hero.

Yeah.

Sure.

You have a younger

brother, right?

Yeah, Danny?

Good kid.

Nice kid.

Not like we were, right?

Danny.

Yeah why do you ask?

Is there someone I could call

to come over and be with you?

How about some strippers?

How about your wife?

Sheila?

She don't want nothing

to do with me no more.

Ah, don't worry though.

My little bro will be here in

the morning, sure as clockwork.

You mean Danny?

Mike, if I leave

you alone, will you

promise me that you won't go

outside till tomorrow morning?

[groan]

Mike, if I leave you

alone tonight, will

you promise not to

go out till--

[snoring]

Mike.

Great.

Well.

Mike Phillips, huh?

[snoring]

Mike.

Mike.

Mike.

Hey, Mike!

It's me.

Danny boy, hey.

What time is it?

7:
30 in the morning.

Mom wants to know if you

want to come to church.

Do you want to come

to dinner tonight?

How was the party last night?

It was okay, but--

it started out cool, then

everyone got pretty wasted.

Sounds awesome.

Kayla was pretty sloppy.

Ugh, that's the worst.

There's nothing

worse than a girl

that can't hold her liquor.

She really hit it

hard, you know?

I can imagine.

Her sister is like that too.

Cassie, wild chick.

Just wild.

She got sick, and I had

to watch her all night.

Oh, man.

That's the worst.

I got stories I

can tell you, but

hope you behaved yourself.

Whoo!

What would you say if

I had this friend--

a good friend, and this

friend did something

that was kind of stupid,

and totally wrong,

and someone got

hurt because of it,

but no one took

responsibility for it?

Well Danny, a Marine

lives by a certain code.

A code of integrity that

can't be compromised.

Well--

It means, Daniel--

doing the right thing,

regardless of whether

you're going to get caught

or not.

That's pretty righteous stuff,

but it's a good thing you're

not a Marine anymore, eh?

You're in it for life brother--

no such thing as an ex-Marine.

Honor, courage, commitment.

Courage.

It is the willingness to

take a stand, regardless

of adverse consequences.

It's the will to heed the

inner conscience, and the will

to do what is right, regardless

of the conduct of others.

It's not enough to
